    My resting heart rate is at 48 bpm. I'm in decent shape but nothing spectacular. It's been as low as 42 before but I ran a lot more back then.

    35 beats per minute puts you in phenomenal shape category.

    Both those guys I cited are world champions.

    It's not quite as simple as that. If it gets down to 0, your probably not going to be performing at your best...
